Cheeks and midface in Chicago
Gentle volume and support in the midface can lift the whole face, softening folds and shadows without changing who you are.
With Sangini and Brenda · practicing since 2004
About Cheeks
Why patients choose LIV
As we age, the midface loses fat, bone support and collagen. Cheeks flatten, smile lines deepen and the lower face can look heavier. Restoring a little support high on the cheek often softens all of that at once, which is why Sangini looks at the midface before treating folds directly.
Hyaluronic acid filler adds precise lift where you need it now, and Sculptra rebuilds collagen gradually across the face. For skin that has loosened or lost firmness, Sofwave tightens and Morpheus8 refines texture. Sangini and Brenda combine these thoughtfully so you look rested, not reshaped.

Your appointment
What to expect
- 01
Assessment
We look at your face at rest, smiling and from the side to see where support has been lost.
- 02
Plan
We choose filler, Sculptra, energy treatments or a combination and agree on a timeline.
- 03
Treatment
Injectables usually take under an hour, with numbing for comfort. Energy treatments may be scheduled on separate days.
- 04
Review
We review filler at about two weeks, and Sculptra and energy treatments over the following months as collagen builds.
Downtime
Filler and Sculptra may cause a few days of swelling or bruising, Sofwave has none, and Morpheus8 brings a few days of redness.
Results
Filler shows right away and typically lasts 6 to 18 months, while Sculptra, Sofwave and Morpheus8 results build gradually over a few months.
Consultation
$150, fully credited toward any services booked.

Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“I don't trust anyone but Sangini with my face for Botox and fillers. She is an artist! Never too much or never too little. She truly wants to make her patients look beautiful, and feel happy, and good about themselves.”
★★★★★
“I have been seeing Sangini since 2016 when a friend recommended her for Botox and fillers. What I love about Sangini, is that she takes her time and does not rush her patients. She is a perfectionist, has a great eye for proportions and never pushes me to do more than I need. She is very gentle, patient, caring and always makes me feel comfortable.”
★★★★★
“Sangini is very professional yet down to earth, which always makes me feel very comfortable. I am very pleased with the outcome of my Botox & Fillers. Her up to date knowledge & skills gave me a very natural look just like I requested. Highly Skilled best describes her work.”
Will cheek filler make my face look puffy?
Not when it is placed in proportion. An overfilled look usually comes from too much product in the wrong place, so we work in small amounts and review at follow-up.
Should I choose filler or Sculptra for my cheeks?
Filler gives precise, immediate lift. Sculptra gives gradual, overall volume. Many patients benefit from a little of both.
Can cheek treatment soften smile lines?
Often, yes. Restoring support in the midface can soften the folds below, and sometimes a small amount of filler in the fold itself helps too.
How much does cheek and midface treatment cost?
It depends on the products and treatments in your plan, so we price it at your consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
